 If you are familiar with Ruby or another language that also has some sort of "symbols" -- please don't be misguided. JavaScript symbols are different.
 
+````warn header="Symbols don't auto-convert to a string"
+Most values in JavaScript support implicit conversion to a string. For instance, we can `alert` almost any value, and it will work. Symbols are special. They don't auto-convert.
+
+For instance, this `alert` will show an error:
+
+```js run
+let id = Symbol("id");
+*!*
+alert(id); // TypeError: Cannot convert a Symbol value to a string
+*/!*
+```
+
+If we really want to show a symbol, we need to call `.toString()` on it, like here:
+```js run
+let id = Symbol("id");
+*!*
+alert(id.toString()); // Symbol(id), now it works
+*/!*
+```
+
+That's a "language guard" against messing up, because strings and symbols are fundamentally different and should not occasionally convert one into another.
